Look after young Ben Stokes, he could go on to be one of the finest all rounders that New Zealand has ever produced...

It's a pity your young Zimbabwean didn't fire today; perhaps Ballance will have a better second innings...

Rankin also had a nervous introduction to test cricket. The Irish are made of sterner stuff, he'll come back better next time...

Kind thoughts to Johnny Trott. South Africans always have a big circle of friends, so he'll have plenty of support from Kevin Pietersen.

Speaking of South Africans, it's a shame Matty Prior was dropped, he's a favourite of the Australian crowds.

Who else thinks your Zimbabwean Coach will be sacked after the Aussies win 5-0 tomorrow afternoon?

...all in fun...

I was reading thar 40% of Australians were born outside Australia so I guess you are saying you only pick from the other 60%? I see that you have reverted to Poms, eg Gillard and Abbott, when it comes to running your country, not to mention Her Majesty. Fair enough given that we did such a good job up to when we gave you independence (which the Australian says was effectively only in 1986!).
